AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent text describes an apparatus and method for a user interface that can receive user requests for content through a microphone and provide a list of content options based on user profile information. The user can then select content and the service provider will enable the selected service. The user can also provide feedback about the service through the microphone, which helps the service provider improve their service offering. This technology allows users to more easily access and use services, while providing history information to the service provider to improve the user experience.

Problems solved by technology

Also, because the user cannot exactly know the service (or content) which is being provided by the specific 3rd party service provider, the user who calls the voice agent corresponding to the specific 3rd party service provider has a need to have to search or select desired content through a direct interaction with the voice agent corresponding to the specific 3rd party service provider.
